Pros

Great salary, work/life balance, overall people are helpful and can learn from them

Cons

Capital One does rank stacking, once they hire people and go above a certain number for ranks they start to put people in PIP. Unfortunately I was one of them even though I met all the requirements, they gave some bs excuse to put me in PIP. They set you up for failure and my manager basically said no matter how good you do in PIP you will get fired. It's a good job but its very uncertain how long you will stay there, anyone can be let go at any time.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
